Why do Middle Eastern countries take so many of the refugees fleeing Syria?

First, we should contrast which countries have taken a larger number of refugees from those who have not. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arab states have argued that they cannot take refugees because of the possible terrorism implications and because they feel that giving up money to pay for their survival is duty enough. This, of course, is ridiculous. Arabs should take care of their own.
However, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey have each taken 1.4 million, 1.9. million, and 2.3 million refugees. All three have basically argued that they are strained and overtaxed by the refugees that they have taken in and cannot afford to take in anymore, resulting in them closing the borders or, in Turkey's case, turning a blind eye towards Europe-bound migration. However, they took them in up to that point because the governments of those countries were sympathetic to plight of their neighbors and wished to protect them in their moment of desperation.
